1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most fatal type of breast cancer (BC). Due to the lack of relevant targeted drug therapy, in addition to surgery, chemotherapy is still the most common treatment option for TNBC. TNBC is heterogeneous, and different patients have an unusual sensitivity to chemotherapy. Only part of the patients will benefit from chemotherapy, so neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is controversial in the treatment of TNBC. Here, we performed an NMR spectroscopy-based metabolomics study to analyze the relationship between the patients' metabolic phenotypes and chemotherapy sensitivity in the serum samples. Metabolic phenotypes from patients with pathological partial response, pathological complete response, and pathological stable disease (pPR, pCR, and pSD) could be distinguished. Furthermore, we conducted metabolic pathway analysis based on identified significant metabolites and revealed significantly disturbed metabolic pathways closely associated with three groups of TNBC patients. We evaluated the discriminative ability of metabolites related to significantly disturbed metabolic pathways by using the multi-receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Three significantly disturbed metabolic pathways of glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis, and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism could be used as potential predictive models to distinguish three types of TNBC patients. These results indicate that a metabolic phenotype could be used to predict whether a patient is suitable for NAC. Metabolomics research could provide data in support of metabolic phenotypes for personalized treatment of TNBC.
